What always worries him is age. He has never heard of anyone still studying at the age of 30.
At his age, he is already married with children and has his own family responsibilities. Is it really okay for him to go back to school at this age?
But he really didn't want to give up. He was just one step away from having the chance to go to college.
When the news of the cancellation of the college entrance examination came, their entire class fell into a daze and no one understood what was going on.
It was as if the avenue leading to heaven in front of them was blown apart in an instant, leaving only a vast ocean in front of them. There was no way forward and no way to retreat backward.
He stayed in the countryside and did farm work for many years until his father offered him a job so that he could find a wife, get married and have children sooner.
Could he refuse? As a country boy, what could he do if he didn't get married at that age? And what would his future be if he stayed in the countryside and farmed?
After working all your life for a few work points, you still end up with nothing.
It’s been ten years, ten years. Has he finally waited for what he wants?
The torn textbook in front of him determined his future destiny.
How many students across the country are facing this situation?
Of course I am happy, even crazy people will be happy.
But before the joy was over, the urgency of time came.
The resumption of the college entrance examination was announced in October, and the first one will be held in December.
They only have two months left.
It's okay for high school graduates who have just graduated, but it's not so friendly to those who have graduated ten years ago.
The knowledge in the books has been lost by them for ten years, so it is not easy to pick it up again.
But they will not give up. If one year doesn’t work, there are still two years. If two years doesn’t work, there are still five years. If five years doesn’t work, there are still ten years.
We have waited for a decade, can’t we wait for the second decade?
Everyone is in the stage of actively preparing for the exam.
But before that, no one knew that the college entrance examination would be resumed, and those who had graduated long ago had no idea where their books were thrown away.
Especially for those educated youth who went to the countryside, it was extremely difficult to buy junior high and high school books in the countryside.
During this period, the number of people sending letters and making phone calls was overwhelming.
Everyone is trying to race against time to contact their families as soon as possible so that they can send them some review books and materials.
Both families had review materials that Jiang Mengxue had someone bring back in advance, but not many people knew about this.
After hearing the news that the country would resume the college entrance examination, Jiang's father told everyone in the family that they must not tell outsiders about the review materials at home.
All the children in his family have received education, so the fact that they have books at home cannot be hidden from outsiders.
So after someone close to him came to him, he took the initiative to send out two copies of the information. If they wanted to read it, they could copy it themselves, but there were no more copies, and they also needed it at home.
Everyone understands this point. No one knows how valuable review materials are at this time better than those who are about to take the college entrance examination.
It is a great favor for others to say that they are willing to lend them two copies for copying.
All the children in the Jiang family are going to take the college entrance examination, and they need it themselves, so how could they be willing to lend it to others?
If anyone dared to say such heartless words, the other educated youth would be the first to respond.
Father Jiang sat at the door smoking his old pipe.
The Northeast has entered winter and there is not much to do. Candidates who want to take the college entrance examination can review at home with peace of mind.
Fortunately, it was winter. If these people could not keep up with the work during the spring planting and autumn harvest, the team leader would definitely deduct every single work point from them.
"You sit here smoking your old pipe again.
The children at home were like mad cows. I saw that the kerosene lamp in the house was still on in the middle of the night, and they were all studying.
"Oh, old man, are you really going to let all your children go to college? If they all leave one by one, there will be no one left at home, right?"
Jiang's mother was worried, especially about what had happened in the last few months.
The educated youth have been in the countryside for some years. The older ones have married local young people, and some girls from the brigade have married educated youth.
At that time, who could have imagined that these educated youth would one day return to the city? If they had known that such a day would come, who would be willing to marry their sons and daughters to these educated youth?
Many families in this group have already started making a fuss, and they don't want their children to go to college.
What if they take the exam and never come back, what will happen to their spouse and children who stay in the village?
To be honest, let alone whether these educated youth would come back, Jiang's mother didn't even believe in her own grandchildren.
After going to a big city to study and seeing the colorful world outside, would you be willing to come back?
He still cares about his wife, children and warm home. Will he find another mistress outside?
If you say you are single outside, who knows whether you are married or not?
We have to tell the truth about Jiang's mother's unintentional thoughts.
There are indeed many people who have married and had children in the countryside, or married and had children, and later went to college or returned home, who would hide the fact that they were married, and then fall in love and get married.
Father Jiang glanced at his wife beside him and said unhappily, "What kind of talk are you talking about? Don't you believe in your own child?
These children have studied hard for so many years and finally waited for the opportunity to turn their lives around. If you ask them to stay and farm in the countryside for the rest of their lives, do you think you can still keep them? It’s better to give it a try.”
As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh.
"We ordinary people only have this one chance to turn our lives around. I'm not like these kids who have to dig in the dirt for their whole lives like us.
